No matter where life takes me....I'll never sell out my values. I don't sit within a religion or any party political, isolated hegemonic bullshit paradigms. Seriously, I’m bored with it, argue amongst yourselves …..apparently....I've heard....there is an ACTUAL life that can be lived quite freely without those constraints...imagine that!! The ability to think for myself….

Barry....

There is/was a thing about black people dating outside of their cultural spec once upon a time in London and of course vice versa but I forgot about the social implications from my perspective.

I use to get told off for dating outside of my colour when I was younger, beaten up and bottled once because of it and on one specific occasion, I recall when all the black guys in this club mocked my very very white boyfriend he did dance badly.. nohing to do with his colour, he loved Marc Almond he was a bad dancer and the black guys were bouncers, nobody looked good.... it really is one of those stories where you had to have been there....everyone but me looked like a twat.

To be honest Oleuanna, I think its worse if you're the white man in this situation. Its a combination of racism with an insidious sexist double standard. My experience has always been that there is an assumption that you, as a man (and a white man in particular) have somehow led them astray.

I got so sick of the aggro I now will no longer consider a relationship with a woman who is black or asian unless they live in a largely white area and/or have quite an ethnically mixed group of friends.

John I see you have disappeared.....what can I say. It was a memory evoked by this song I really don't have any issues with white or black men. I do have some issues with bad dancing and quite a bit with racism. But I can see why you would jump to such an obvious summing up....albeit an inaccurate one but if you feel damaged, what can I say? Don't we all?

Really Katabasis? I suppose I can see that perspective with regard to Asian girls and their families. With the black attitude, I was always called a sell out and siding with the enemy if you like. But I think if you have to step back and think about your environment before you enter into a relationship, which will allow it to be 'safe or not' or less 'aggro' strikes me as a relationship you shouldn't enter into.

'A thousand years of man’s desires captured in a heel'. I love his photography it compliments his crazy grasp on life and as a writer he is seductive and I can feel his scent with apprehension. He makes me wish I still believed in love.......but then again, why spoilt it, I want to remain his emotional whore…....

Well if you've got it.......?

There is something to be said about the depth of his writing, not just of its intelligent word play but the inducement it insists upon my norms…’I have to release them’ and before I know it, his hand is in mine and my world is now his…..I can offer no resistance....nor do I want to...

He's a gritty Northern man whose poetry is honest and undeniable and will make you feel discomfort from his constant pain. I worry as my heart tears from each entry I read so he must be internally bleeding. But don’t be scared to embrace it, his words glide through your cells like necessary oxys gennan..absorb him… guiltily enjoy his madness and though he may be beautiful.....just be glad it isn't you...

A must have.....

I read this and felt transported back to discovering sex for the first time. Gently written anthology, of funny, sexy and erotic tales, it has been my bed partner for a week!…..It’s a must have for the girls...but the boys will love it just as much..!! Enjoy…...I certainly did..

BLANK.......you won't be...

Raw ..Sexy .....Dark....I LOVE THIS....it attacks all my senses and like a kid I sit underneath my duvet and read it when I should be asleep. Gritty art, engrossing story and compelling ambience. It’s ok to grow up now, our toys just got better…..!

The world needs poets....and this poet knows this world....

Creation by Emergence - Vincenzo Scipioni, I am in awe of this man and his works as he seems to transcend any form of measurement. His insights into his life and the life around him is enthralling and has me wanting to drink more of him. My thirst is still not quenched and quite frankly I never want it to be satisfied. It's rare for me to fall in love with such art but I have... because it is truly beautiful. But what is life without discovery? Go on…I urge you to take a look for yourself ….
